[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Recursor Lua scripting

[Chet Nichols III]

oh nice.. i'll have to check that out. some guy in-house ended up
implementing domain redirection in pdns for a project we were doing (sorry
my company never ended up contacting you re: paid work. after i realized
they were nothing but talk, i told them i wont be the middle-man anymore,
because that sucks for you and makes me look like a pooper).

in any case, i'd prefer to not have the one-off version for our own
implementation, and this looks like it might be the answer, so, great work,
and thanks a lot for taking the time to get that working!

ive been starting to use pdns more and more for my own outside stuff
(recursion and authoritative), and it totally rocks.

take care
